Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I can inform the Deputy that the working group established earlier this year under the aegis of the Courts Service has met on a number of occasions and is due to report in the near future. I am further informed, by the Garda authorities, that the technical and administrative arrangements required to bring the provision in question into effect remain under careful evaluation.
